Not for Boys...

Marriage is an institution ordained by God for His children to enjoy. It is intended to be "built". It is not meant for boys or girls, rather it is meant for a man and a woman. Boys are adventurous, they enjoy thrills and do things for the fun of it. Girls get excited when they get attention. Adventure can not last forever, neither does excitement because a time comes when a boy is expected to mature and become a man and a girl a woman. 

 

At such times, thrills and excitement do not cut it, seriousness, long time planning, strategizing and commitment become important requirements to face the rigour and demands of life. Do not build your future and life on adventure,excitement or thrill, when you travel the journey of life and demands are placed on you, you will cave in. Have you wondered why there are so many divorce and separation taking place today? It is because men have stopped counting the cost and they have decided to go the route of 'hit and run'.Boys have refused to become men in their thinking and disposition and girls have chose to be 'chics' forever. The things that are important to a chic are not the same as are important to a woman...If a man of forty-five years of age is still caught up in running after young girls in skirts, there is a major problem. So also, if you are in your twenties as a girl and you still want to 'enjoy' yourself before settling down, you may miss your God ordained man. You can not be a lady forever...

 

God still places so much premium on marriage, protect and preserve yours, if you are not married, desire to build a godly one. There is a level of preparation that is required for you to succeed in marriage, a deep knowledge of God will give you insight into who the person you are getting married to. If you plan and build with God without discounting the nudging of the Holy Spirit, you will avert so great a danger.

Luke 14:28 KJV

"For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?"

 

Do you have all that it takes to build a godly home? Yes, your peers are all married with children but have you made adequate preparation? What are those things that are always bring flaws to your relationships? Are there specific things that individuals have complained about in the past; self centredness, anger, lack of trust, infidelity etc? Then prayerfully check these so you can build a lasting and happy home. No what you want and what you do not wand in your home and prayerfully structure your future. There is time for everything. If you do not want to be "tied down" now, you may be forced to tie down the wrong person when time is no longer on your side. Count the cost and make sure you have enough to finish your structure. Boys/Girls live for now, men/women plan for the future.

Shalom!
